Syntactic n-grams are intended to reflect syntactic structure more faithfully than linear n-grams, and have many of the same applications, especially as features in a vector space model. Syntactic n-grams for certain tasks gives better results than the use of standard n-grams, for example, for authorship attribution. [12]
An n-gram is a sequence of n adjacent symbols in particular order. [1] The symbols may be n adjacent letters (including punctuation marks and blanks), syllables , or rarely whole words found in a language dataset; or adjacent phonemes extracted from a speech-recording dataset, or adjacent base pairs extracted from a genome.
The equation for Katz's back-off model is: [2] (+) = {+ (+) (+) (+) > + (+)where C(x) = number of times x appears in training w i = ith word in the given context. Essentially, this means that if the n-gram has been seen more than k times in training, the conditional probability of a word given its history is proportional to the maximum likelihood estimate of that n-gram.
In natural language processing a w-shingling is a set of unique shingles (therefore n-grams) each of which is composed of contiguous subsequences of tokens within a document, which can then be used to ascertain the similarity between documents. The symbol w denotes the quantity of tokens in each shingle selected, or solved for.
A language model is a model of natural language. [1] Language models are useful for a variety of tasks, including speech recognition, [2] machine translation, [3] natural language generation (generating more human-like text), optical character recognition, route optimization, [4] handwriting recognition, [5] grammar induction, [6] and information retrieval.
Embedding vectors created using the Word2vec algorithm have some advantages compared to earlier algorithms [1] such as those using n-grams and latent semantic analysis. GloVe was developed by a team at Stanford specifically as a competitor, and the original paper noted multiple improvements of GloVe over word2vec. [9]
LEPOR [4] is designed with the factors of enhanced length penalty, precision, n-gram word order penalty, and recall.The enhanced length penalty ensures that the hypothesis translation, which is usually translated by machine translation systems, is punished if it is longer or shorter than the reference translation.
Kneser–Ney smoothing, also known as Kneser-Essen-Ney smoothing, is a method primarily used to calculate the probability distribution of n-grams in a document based on their histories. [1] It is widely considered the most effective method of smoothing due to its use of absolute discounting by subtracting a fixed value from the probability's ...
